My 300 was behaving badly until I made the 1 1/2 hr journey to Rochester, Kent to meet Darren the mechanic.

 

Within 3-4 minutes he had figured out what was wrong and cured the problem.

 

He then gave the car a full dianositics test and gave it the green light without charging the earth.

 

This guy genuinely knows his stuff, is trustworthy and sincere and I would recommend him to anyone one on this forum.

 

Thanks again to craig and co. who put me in touch.

It took him 3-4 minutes to figure it out....

 

He must have been on the beer the night before because he's normally quicker than that :-)

 

Ooops a typo.

 

Sorry Steve, I meant 3-4 seconds.
